With Griff out, this is a good opportunity to get Brandon Phillips some PT.
Re: Game 9 - Reds vs. Cubs Game Thread
That lineup makes me cringe. It is the first true getaway day lineup
Re: Game 9 - Reds vs. Cubs Game Thread
Well, this lineup should stir the emotions. I guess EdE is banished to the bench after his error episode yesterday. We get to see our third 2nd baseman of the season.
Re: Game 9 - Reds vs. Cubs Game Thread
is the game on WGN today?

Yes and it's also on MLB Extra Innings. Channel 630 if you have the DISH Network.

A Cubs fan might concur.
Re: Game 9 - Reds vs. Cubs Game Thread
Yes the game is on WGN. I think its a chance to give EE a day off and to give BP his first start with us.
Re: Game 9 - Reds vs. Cubs Game Thread
Great...nothing like a young 3b having a tough day, bouncing back to drill an RBI double off a HOF pitcher, then grabbing some pine the next day.
Why isn't Kearns hitting cleanup? Aurilia doesn't play against RHPs and hits cleanup against LHPs. Zambrano is pitching, he replaces EE and becomes the cleanup guy? Doesn't make any sense. Hopefully Narron proves me wrong.
Re: Game 9 - Reds vs. Cubs Game Thread
Last might Furman said Edwin was a SURE FIRE start today and even bet a caller game tickets. LOL... what a boob.

Well, if he doesn't, and anyone's looking for me, I'll be in Chat cussing up a storm.
Re: Game 9 - Reds vs. Cubs Game Thread
Great to see BP in there -- too bad his first start is against Zambrano. I don't mind EdE sitting this one out -- he struggled against Zambrano on Opening Day.
This is one where only the baseball gods can bequeth the Reds a victory.

Yea...this is a throw in the towel and see if your opponent is suckier than you day.
Re: Game 9 - Reds vs. Cubs Game Thread
Let's see how professional Aurilia and Hatteburg get in the 4/5 holes. Hey guys, a little heavier lifting required of you in this one.
Re: Game 9 - Reds vs. Cubs Game Thread
Anyone find it interesting Womak is sitting against a right hander? I can always dream that it means something more than just trying to get BP some ABs.
